Shibata Construction and Engineering

Shibata Construction and Engineering or SCE is a Japanesecorporation with its home office in San Fernando, in the JISPrefecture of the Philippines Islands. Its CEO is Takako Shibata, and it is a member of the Pacific Prosperity Group. SCE is in the business of terrestrial and orbital habitat construction, maintenance and operation, as well as satellite placement and launch facilities. It also profits greatly from outsourced projects for other megacorporations, such as manufacturing for Yamatetsu's MetaErgonomics, Aztechnology space assets, and drone research for Mitsuhama.

SCE was initially a subsidiary of Mitsuhama, which helped Mitsuhama gain a space presence by launching satellites in 2023, but had fallen into disfavor in recent years, become little more than a tax writeoff to MCT. In 2059, during the Fuchi-Renraku fiasco, it obtained much of Fuchi's space assets. In addition, Yamatetsu injected a substantial amount of money into Shibata and the company left from under the Mitsuhama wing. Buttercup continues to hold a controlling share of Shibata.
